    Poe is
    So Edgar Allen Poe might not be turning in his grave - but that might have something to do with the fact his body has decompensated. What? It's a horror movie, do expect some horror, yes? The movie itself is based on rock solid material obviously, but fails to translate that quite badly onto the screen (or wherever you watch it).

    Having said that, the filmmakers try their best I reckon and even the bad acting is there to be "enjoyed". But then you have weak (cheap) production values and everything that goes along with that. Even bad sound - which made me switch to the german dub for a second. And that was coincidently the worst shock of the movie ... disastrous dubbing work! But yeah, save time, save your nerves - just better not watch
